history

The village was first mentioned as Chranstouiz in 1259 . The name is derived from the Polish word chrosty and means something like dense shrubs . In 1532 the place is mentioned again as Chrzanstowitz .
After the First World War, a referendum was held in Upper Silesia in 1921 on further state membership. In Chronstau, 248 votes (54.0%) were cast in favor of remaining with Germany and 211 (46%) in favor of joining Poland, whereupon Chronstau remained in Germany. Before the Second World War, Chronstau was part of the Opole district.
In 1945 the place fell to Poland and was named Chrąsty or Chrząsty ; In 1947 the place name Chrząstowice was finally determined. After the war, only a small number of the local population was displaced. To date, three population groups live in the municipality: Poles, Germans (26.7%) and Silesians (6.5%).
The municipality of Chronstau has been officially bilingual since 2006 and German-speaking place names were introduced in 2008.
On December 11, 2008, the bilingual place-name signs were ceremoniously unveiled in the community. Chronstau is the third municipality with German-speaking place-name signs in the Opole Voivodeship.
On October 30, 2012, bilingual station signs were put up at all train stations in the municipality. These bear the German name under the Polish name. It is the first bilingual station sign in Poland. There are three train stations in the municipality: Chronstau, Derschau and Dembiohammer. When the train stations were renovated after a short time, the panels were removed again. Now that new Polish boards had been installed, a dispute broke out over the bilingualism of the train stations.
The German Football School Chronstau opened in 2015 .
